Email shareena@me.berkeley.edu and say you would like to enroll in ME 199/ungraded research. Include the following information:

How many units you want

Which faculty member you are working with

Copy that faculty member on the message.

Shareena then checks with your faulty sponsor and if cleared, will enroll you in the course.

ME 196

-GRADED research.

-Can be used towards the Technical Elective requirement (up to 3 units total of 15 required units).

-Final paper is required for grade. Abstract also due at the end of the semester.

-Okay for students outside of MechE use this.

-For ME students with less than a 3.3 GPA (no exceptions)

-If students outside of MechE want graded research, they would use this number (never ME H194, regardless of GPA)

Class restrictions/eligibility

-If requestor is a 4th year s/he can do this without exception.

-If a requestor is a 3rd year, the sponsoring faculty needs to send an exception request which must be approved by the Ugrad VC before Shareena can enroll.

-If student is a lowerclassman (sophomore with junior or senior standing or lower), s/he should take pass/not pass option. ME 196 or ME H194 (graded research) is intended for 4th years (or actual seniors rather than folks with “senior-standing”). Graded research is considered "senior research."
